Hi Chris Thanks for pointing out this post. I consider the man page sge_priorities to be the most important document in grid engine. Its very good to see this post discussing the topic.
I have been working on a way to visualize sge_priorities because, well, there are so many knobs....

What do others think? I gave up years ago trying to understand the policy mechanism at any deep level. I have a few good config recipes that I stick with. Whenever I have to deviate from those, I often end up making best-guess changes to odd SGE values/weights and then I have to watch the pending/active job list to see if the resource allocation mix is doing what I hoped. More clarity and "predictive-ness" would be welcome. -dag _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users --------------------------------------------------------------------- Notice from Univa Postmaster: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
